Clutch: 5C-4
Air Bleeding from Clutch Fluid Circuit
B718H15306004
CAUTION
!
Handle brake fluid with care: the fluid reacts
chemically with paint, plastics, rubber
materials, etc.
The clutch fluid circuit may be purged of air in the
following manner:
1) Keep the motorcycle upright and place the
handlebars straight.
2) Fill up the master cylinder reservoir to the upper end
of the inspection window. Replace the reservoir cap
to prevent entry of dirt.
3) Remove the engine sprocket outer cover (1).
4) Attach a pipe to the bleeder valve and insert the free
end of the pipe into a receptacle.
5) Squeeze and release the clutch lever several times
in rapid succession, and squeeze the lever fully
without releasing it.
6) Loosen the bleeder valve by turning it a quarter of a
turn so that the fluid runs into the receptacle; this will
remove the tension of the clutch lever causing it to
touch the handlebar grip.
7) Close the valve, pump and squeeze the lever, and
open the valve.
8) Repeat this process until the fluid flowing into the
receptacle no longer contains air bubbles.
9) Close the bleeder valve and disconnect the pipe.

the inspection window.
